Rear wheel squeak
When coasting at low speeds there is a intermittent squeak (sorta like a squeal/honk, or squonk
) that is coming from my rear wheel (relatively new mtn bike). Could there be dirt/dust in the rear hub that is causing this? It's really getting annoying. Any ideas on what i can check?
Thanks

However, there's always the chance that something else is going on, and since the bike is new, you might ask the shop to check it out (FREE).

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, the noise didn't occur until recently (after a few months of riding). I guess i'll take it to the shop and have them check it out...just hard to find the time to get by there.
